PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) promotes the health and well-being of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons, their families and friends through: support, to cope with an adverse society; education, to enlighten an ill-informed public; and advocacy, to end discrimination and to secure equal civil rights. Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays provides opportunity for dialogue about sexual orientation and gender identity, and acts to create a society that is healthy and respectful of human diversity.
PFLAG Huntsville Chapter is especially concerned with parents discovering they have a gay child. This can be devastating as friends, relatives and other members of their support network may turn away from them. The group includes parents who have accepted their gay and lesbian children, and welcomes new parents, family members and friends to receive support. Gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans-gender persons are also welcome.
